Abstract :
The ongoing development of logic analysers has been fuelled by continual improvements in microprocessor technology, allowing cost-effective implementation of advanced measurement techniques. This continual development has been driven, to a great extent, by the need to be able to debug complex microprocessor-based or high-speed state machine designs. The author discusses some of the improvements in logic analysers, which include post-processing capabilities. The trend is towards a more modular approach logic analysis which improves the area of stimulus response testing. The author also discusses the links between logic analysers and the CAE environment, and future developments
